The Impact of Project-Based and Experiential Learning Integration on Pre-Service Teacher Achievement in Evaluation and Assessment

The present study aimed to explore the effectiveness of integrating project-based learning (PBL) and experiential learning in fostering the evaluation and assessment skills of pre-service teachers. To assess the impact of this integration, a self-efficacy assessment form and evaluation of teacher performance, learning achievement and mentality aspects were employed. The findings of the study indicated that the integration of PBL and experiential learning yielded positive outcomes, enhancing the evaluation and assessment skills of pre-service teachers. This research contributes to the existing body of literature by providing empirical evidence supporting the potential of integrating PBL and experiential learning as an effective approach to augment pre-service teachers’ evaluation and assessment abilities. The study also underscores the significance of creating hands-on and collaborative learning environments within teacher education programmes. These results have significant implications for the design of future teaching strategies aimed at improving the evaluation and assessment skills of pre-service teachers. By incorporating PBL and experiential learning, teacher education programmes can create dynamic learning experiences that engage students in practical, real-world contexts. This approach encourages active participation, critical thinking and problem-solving skills, which are essential for effective evaluation and assessment practices.

On Mathematics Anxiety and Achievement of BSHRM Students in Surigao City, Philippines

Mathematics anxiety is an intense feeling of uneasiness about one’s ability to do mathematics, interfering achievement in the subject. The study aimed to describe the relationship between mathematics anxiety and mathematics achievement, and the respondents’ profile characteristics, including the extent of student-teacher rapport. The sample comprised of 109 BSHRM students (32 males and 77 females) selected through stratified sampling. Mathematics anxiety was measured using the internally reliable Mathematics Anxiety Rating Scale-Philippines, the student-teacher rapport using the Instrument for Teacher-Student Rapport, and mathematics achievement using the respondents’ performance in College Algebra. A descriptive-correlational design was used, where Pearson product-moment correlation, analysis of variance, and linear regression modelling were the means to analyze the data. The results revealed that mathematics anxiety has a significant negative correlation with mathematics achievement. In addition, it was found that the respondents significantly differed among each other when grouped based on the extent of student-teacher rapport, but no differences when they were grouped based on gender, age, and type of high school they graduated. There is a cubic polynomial function model that describes the relationship between math achievement and anxiety. These findings suggest that student-teacher rapport is an important factor to mathematics anxiety and achievement. Also, a student support program relevant to enhancing self-efficacy, classroom atmosphere, class participation, and study skills may be designed to facilitate mathematics education of students with anxiety in the subject

Rapid and sustained contact tracing training for COVID-19 in San Francisco: a training model for developing an emergency public health workforce.

The City and County of San Francisco was the first municipality in the United States to institute a COVID-19 contact tracing program. The San Francisco Department of Public Health (SFDPH) and the University of California, San Francisco (UCSF) created an outcome-based fully remote contact tracing curriculum using participatory learning methods to train non-public health emergency workers as contact tracers. Between April and December 2020, we trained over 300 individuals in contact tracing skills and procedures over three training phases. Using iterative curriculum design and Kirkpatrick's evaluation methodology, we aimed to ensure high quality and successful person-centered contact tracing. The resulting curriculum consisted of 24 learning outcomes taught with six participatory skills development activities, asynchronous materials, and one-on-one contact tracer support. We collected more than 700 responses from trainees using various evaluation tools across the training phases, and contact tracers interviewed more than 24,000 contacts after training in our program. Our evaluations showed that knowledge and skills improved for most trainees and demonstrated the utility of the training program in preparing trainees to perform person-centered contact tracing in San Francisco. Local health jurisdictions and state health agencies can use this model of curriculum development and evaluation to rapidly train a non-public health workforce to respond to future public health emergencies.

(Ri) educate to Political Participation: The Democratic Challenge

In recent decades, an increasingly significant break in the bond that binds politics and subjects has been affirmed. An increasing number of citizens have distanced themselves from politics and its party drift and have ceased to recognize themselves in it and in its institutional representatives. This process has pushed the subjects towards individualistic orientations and privatization of the experience. The increasingly low level of political culture of the citizens, both outcome and cause of the growing disaffection and deresponsibilization, exposes to the risk of an increasingly demagogic, populist and low democratic policy. The last decades, therefore, have undermined the conditions for the existence of a “critical citizen”, a priority objective to ensure fully democratic decision-making and government processes. The goal of a full and widespread democratic participation requires training courses of political culture, starting from a rethinking and a redesign of the times and spaces of training so that widespread conditions of learning knowledge and skills elicitation for a full voice are guaranteed Keywords: democracy, participation skills, third spaces, cities, complexity
